 MASH-UP IS FEATURED AT SAN FRANCISCO CARNAVAL 2011\n\nTrash Mash-Up’s 
 (TMU) be featured in San Francisco Carnaval 2011 on Sunday, May 29 in the 
 Streets of the Mission District.  Beginning at 9:30 a.m. at the corner of 
 24th and Bryant streets, the parade will proceed west to Mission Street. 
 From there, the parade heads north on Mission down to 17th Street, where it 
 will turn east and flow into the festival area.  TMU transforms the streets 
 of San Francisco with a visual spectacle made of music, movement, and 
 “Maskostumes”.  Spectators enjoy works of art created from things 
 disregarded by one person and then given new life through another’s 
 imagination. With trash bag boas and bottle-cap chain mail, Trash Mash-Up 
 builds creative connections and raises environmental awareness throughout 
 our community as a new urban tradition is fostered. \n\nOne of the city's 
 most spectacular traditions, San Francisco Carnaval showcases the very best 
 of Latin American and Caribbean cultures and traditions with a diverse 
 array of food, music, dance and artistry.  The event is free and the public 
 is encouraged to attend.  Acting as this year’s Grand Marshal of the San 
 Francisco Carnaval Grand Parade is famed actor, film director and political 
 activist Danny Glover. The 2011 Grand Parade will feature a very special 
 appearance of the San Francisco Giants’ 2010 World Series trophy 
 accompanied by the Giants’ mascot Lou Seal.  \n\nTrash Mash-Up has 
 partnered with community based organizations to create the colorful 
 celebration mashing it up in the streets of the Mission District for San 
 Francisco Carnaval.  They include the Whitney Young Performing Arts Dancers 
 and the Abraham Lincoln High School Drama Club and Green Academy on SF 
 Carnaval.  This is the second year that TMU, WYPA and ALHS have 
 collaborated together with TMU for SF Carnaval.  Trash Mash-Up has also 
 partnered with Recology for the third year on SF Carnaval. Recology is a 
 private, 100% employee-owned resource recovery company based on the West 
 Coast emphasizing recycling to reduce consumption of virgin materials who 
 pioneered the first curbside compost program in the U.S.  TMU parades with 
 Recology’s Drill Team and Artist In Residence Program.\n\nTrash Mash-Up 
 is a collaborative community art project. Using disposable materials, 
 collected before they enter the waste stream, participants construct 
 “Maskostumes” which are original pageant masks and costumes inspired by 
 traditions from around the world. TMU enriches our community by developing 
 creative connections amongst the participants\nin addition to raising 
 awareness about cultural traditions and environmental issues. This project 
 reduces waste and inspires people to see each other and our environment in 
 a new way.\n\nThe founding members of Trash Mash-Up are a sister team, 
 Bridget and Jessica McCracken, who both graduated from the Dell'Arte 
 International School of Physical Theatre and         San Francisco State 
 University. Drawing from their talent for creating original theatrical 
 productions and their commitment to serving the larger community, TMU is a 
 socially and environmentally conscious art project. TMU shares cultural 
 traditions with diverse communities in public performances and workshops. 
 Reducing waste by using trash to make art, TMU reminds all of San Francisco 
 that one person's trash could become an entire city's treasure.\n\n
